February Spending Recap

This month was not nearly as good as last month for my budget. I knew that I would spend more this month because I really limited myself last month, but I was surprised that I spent just over twice as much because I still felt like I was always checking myself! This month was a rude awakening for me that I really DO spend without a method or a plan. Here goes:

In addition to the cash I spent, I used my birthday gift card from my in-laws for both the Zella top and the Paige olive jeans this month leaving me with a remaining balance of $118 going into March. And I still have a $22 credit at Buffalo Exchange as well, because I didn't get any opportunity to visit this month.

Finally, I found an old white button down blouse at the beginning of the month (seen here) that I've since dropped off at the tailor to have the sleeves slimmed ($18) to fulfill item No. 13 on my Targeted Purchase List (Man's White Shirt), except not a man's shirt, just mine. :) This month I spent a total of $35 on alterations of the previously mentioned blouse, the Balenciaga pants I bought in January, and the Paige jeans above.

I loveeee your Kendra Scott necklace! They recently had a Gilt warehouse sale in Miami but I didn't want to pay to go, and the "good times" (the earliest times) were already sold out by the time I realized there was a sale. Maybe next year!

Yes, I did well this month! My husband just asked me what the heck I am going to tell you all when I come back with a new pair of shoes or a bag that aren't on sale...We'll cross that bridge when we get there...
